Tar Heels' Shaun Draughn finds comfortable position

Posted Oct 7, 2008
Shaun Draughn said it took him awhile to work up the nerve to go to UNC football coach Butch Davis and tell him he wanted to try a new position. After spending two seasons, in the Tar Heels' crowded defensive backfield, the former Tarboro High School standout running back wanted a shot at his old position. Since he entered the 2008 season listed sixth on the Tar Heels' running back depth chart, Draughn has done nothing but validate the decision. (Burlington Times News)
